El complejo arqueologico de Ollantaytambo en Cusco es un impresionante testimonio del ingenio y la habilidad de los antiguos incas. Ubicada estratégicamente en lo alto de las montañas de los Andes peruanos, y se encuentra en el Valle Sagrado de los Incas, a solo unas horas cerca de Cusco con direccion hacia Machu Picchu. Esta fortaleza fue construida en el siglo XV y se convirtió en un importante centro militar, religioso y administrativo del Imperio Inca.

Aquí abajo se puede ver el templo del Sol donde están hechas con grandes y gigantes bloques de granito rojo que pesan unas 80 toneladas cada una y fueron traídas de mas de 10 km de distancia!

Lo que hace que la fortaleza de Ollantaytambo sea realmente notable es la forma en que fue construida. Los incas trajeron grandes y gigantes bloques de piedra de granito rojo para construir sus imponentes templos y estructuras que aún se mantienen en pie hoy en día. Estas piedras fueron transportadas desde la cantera de Cachiccata, que se ubica a unos 10 kilómetros de distancia, tuvieron que cruzar el gran rio de Vilcanota y después subiéndolas por una gran rampa que ellos mismo también la construyeron. Y después ensambladas con una precisión increíble, sin el uso de mortero. También se aprecia sus grandes terrazas o andenes de agricultura que a la vez sirvieron también como

muros de contención.

También se aprecia las varias fuentes ceremoniales de agua que están magníficamente conectadas subterráneamente!  Esto demuestra el conocimiento avanzado de los incas en arquitectura y construcción.

 

What makes Ollantaytambo an interesting Incan site is the sopisticated water distribution through the agriculture terraces, water running through stone-lined channels and out spouts to different levels and parts.

Aquí se aprecia una de las gigantes rocas de granito rojo de por lo menos 50 toneladas de peso que fueron traídas desde más de 10 km desde las montañas de al frente y cruzando no se sabe cómo, el gran rio de Vilcanota!

Además de su impresionante construcción, El complejo de Ollantaytambo tiene un significado histórico y cultural importante. Según las crónicas españolas fue el lugar donde el líder inca Manco Inca seguía enfrentando a las fuerzas españolas en una interminable persecución. Hasta que después el tuvo que abandonarla e ir a lo profundo de la selva a fundar nuevas ciudadelas, una de ellas la legendaria

Vilcabamba donde se refugió por muchos años.

He aquí las calles del sector urbano donde se conservan los muchos muros y acueductos de drenaje para las temporadas de lluvias, esta ciudadela tambien esta conectada con los magnificos Caminos Inca, originales en Ollantaytambo!

Hoy en día, Ollantaytambo es la única ciudad viviente que sobrevive desde los tiempos de los Incas, muy importante a visitarla!

In 1442, the Incas were flourishing, namely under the command of Pachacutec. It was he who formed the Inca Empire of Tahuantinsuyo (Chinchaysuyo, Antisuyo, Contisuyo y Collasuyo) which would soon become the largest empire to ever reign in pre-Columbian America. During this period the Sacred Valley was a source of food for the Incas because of its incredible ecological floors at different altitudes. Its main crops were white corn, potatoes, coca, fruit, and vegetables, which continue being grown to date.

It was called the Sacred Valley because it contains some of the best lands in the region and was not a part of the Empire but the property of the Emperor or Inca himself.

What can you see in Sacred Valley?

There are several well-preserved Inca archeological sites to visit and its dramatic landscapes are home to Quechua communities that offer unique opportunities to interact with the local culture. It is home to animals that were of great importance during the Inca Empire. We can name these 2: Llamas and Alpacas.

Llama

The llama is a South American relative of the camel, though the llama does not have a hump. (Their wild relatives are guanacos and vicuñas). Llamas were the Incas’ most important domestic animals, providing food, clothing and acting as beasts of burden. Typically, they are saddled with loads of 50 to 75 pounds.

They were also often sacrificed in large numbers to the gods.

Alpaca

The alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a species of South American camelid descended from the vicuña. It is similar to, and often confused with, the llama. However, alpacas are often noticeably smaller than llamas.

Related to the vicuña, llama, and guanaco the alpaca is a rare and precious animal thought to be a cross between llamas and vicuñas some 6000 years ago.

They were treasured by the ancient Inca civilization, the fine fleeces were reserved for Inca royalty. Together with their close relatives, the llamas, alpacas provided clothing, food, fuel and, no doubt, companionship as domesticated animals high in the altiplano of Peru, Chile and Bolivia.

Pisac

Pisaq is a picturesque town with colonial and mestizo characteristics. The term Pisac might come from the word in Quechua P´isaqa which is the name of a bird that exists in this area.  Other Quechua experts support the theory that the word comes from the name Cristóbal Pisaq Topo who used to live in the area.

Pisac Inca Ruins: It is located 3.5km from the town of Pisac at an altitude of 3347 m.a.s.l.

It takes up an entire mountain made up of different neighborhoods or squares, the main one being Intihuatana, which is admired for the architectural skill with which its constructions were built.

The complex is also famous for the colossal terraces that circle the mountains.

Weather:

In Pisac, the wet season is overcast, the dry season is partly cloudy, and it is cool year-round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 2° y 21°C (32°F to 64°F).

The best times of year to visit Pisac for warm-weather activities are from early May to early October.

Pisac is divided into 2 parts, the archeological, which is the ancient part located on the high side of the valley, and the contemporary, which dates from colonial times, located at the low side of the valley itself.

Pisac Market: The colorful Pisac market offers all sorts of handicrafts featuring textiles, jewelry, and ceramic goods.

Sunday is the most festive market day as people from the highland native communities come in their best traditional dress to sell or trade their products. It is fun to explore the typical food section of the market on Sundays, where you will find all types of native Andean potatoes, and exotic fruit brought from the nearby rainforest.

This journey also offers opportunities for ethnic and cultural exchanges as we pass through communities and meet local people who will be willing to share with open minds their rich cultural heritage they still honor and practice to this day.

Humantay lagoon

It is located at an altitude of 4,200 meters above sea level, the base of the Humantay mountain is at an approximate altitude of 4,560 meters above sea level, the lagoon is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes.

  • Longitude: 72°37’2.43 “W
